Easy Homemade Queso Dip
I am a huge cheese fan. I consider it a food group and I can make a meal out of it. I love cheese even more when it’s warm and melted like in this spicy chorizo queso dip. I could eat the whole bowl. Between the fire-roasted chiles, the chorizo, and the (optional) jalapeño garnish, this chorizo cheese dip is wonderfully spicy. It has the kind of heat that keeps you going back for more. I washed down my (many) mouthfuls of spicy queso on salty tortilla chips with Sutter Home White Zinfandel. This medium sweet, chilled wine is a perfect pairing for this easy, spicy, party appetizer that’s ready in 20 minutes. #SweetOnSpice is where it’s at and Sutter Home White Zinfandel is a must have for holiday entertaining. Not only is this queso dip a great holiday entertaining appetizer, but save the recipe for game days and Super Bowl parties.

How to Make Queso with Chorizo
Making queso chorizo dip is quick and easy and I love that there’s no processed cheese in this recipe! Here’s an overview of how the recipe is made:
Tips for Making Queso with Chorizo
For the best queso dip, it’s very important that you grate whatever cheese you’re using by hand or in a food processor. Don’t use bags of pre-shredded cheese because it’s resistant to melting. Do not drain the can of fire-roasted green chiles. The liquid the chiles are packed in contains so much flavor! I used pork chorizo, but you may use beef. Just be sure to remove the casings so you can crumble the chorizo in the skillet.
What to Serve with Chorizo Queso Dip
Pretty much any chip or cracker pairs well with homemade queso:
Baked tortilla chips Pretzels or pretzel thins Ritz crackers Celery sticks Potato chips
